1. This D.E. is of order two because the highest derivative in the equation is y ′′ .
2. Order is 1.
3. This D.E. is of order one because the highest derivative in the equation is y ′ . (Note: ( y ′ ) 3 ≠ y ′′′ )
4. Order is 3.
5. Differentiating gives us y ′ = ke kt . Substitution yields ke kt + 2e kt = 0 . Therefore, k = −2 .
6. y ′′ − y = 0 ⇒ k 2e kt − e kt = 0 ⇒ k = ±1.
7. Differentiating gives us y ′ = −2 k sin 2 te k cos 2 t . Substitution yields
−2 k sin 2 te k cos 2 t + sin 2 te k cos 2 t = 0 . Therefore, sin 2 te k cos 2 t (−2 k + 1) = 0 , and solving for k gives

us k = .

8. y = ke − t , y ′ + y = 0, − ke − t + ke − t = 0. k can be any real number.

9 (a). y = Ce t . Differentiating gives us y ′ = Ce t ⋅ 2 t = 2 ty . Therefore, y ′ − 2 ty = 0 for
any value of C .

9 (b). Substituting into the differential equation yields y (1) = Ce1 = Ce . Using the initial
condition, y (1) = 2 = Ce . Solving for C , we find C = 2e −1 .

10. y ′′′ = 2. y ′′ = 2 t + c1, y = t + c1t + c 2 , y = + c1 + c 2 t + c 3 .

Order = 3 3 arbitrary constants
11 (a). y = C1 sin 2 t + C2 cos 2 t . Differentiating gives us y ′ = 2C1 cos 2 t − 2C2 sin 2 t
and y ′′ = −4 C1 sin 2 t − 4 C2 cos 2 t = −4 (C1 sin 2 t + C2 cos 2 t) = −4 y . Therefore,
y ′′ + 4 y = −4 y + 4 y = 0 and thus y ( t) = C1 sin 2 t + C2 cos 2 t is a solution of the
D.E. y ′′ + 4 y = 0 .
11 (b). y ( π4 ) = C1 (1) + C2 (0) = C1 = 3 and y ′ ( π4 ) = 2C1 (0) − 2C2 (1) = −2C2 = −2 ⇒ C2 = 1.
12. y = 2e −4 t . y ′ + ky = −8e −4 t + 2 ke −4 t = 2( k − 4 )e −4 t = 0
∴ k = 4. y (0) = 2 = y 0 . ∴ k = 4, y 0 = 2.

13. y = ct −1 . Differentiating gives us y ′ = −ct −2 . Thus y ′ + y 2 = −ct −2 + c 2 t −2 = (c 2 − c ) t −2 = 0 .

Solving this for c , we find that c 2 − c = c (c − 1) = 0 . Therefore, c = 0,1.
14. y = −e − t + sin t y ′ + y = g( t), y (0) = y 0 . y ′ = e − t + cos t
y ′ + y = e − t + cos t − e − t + sin t = g ∴ g( t) = cos t + sin t, y (0) = −1 = y 0
15. y = t r . Differentiating gives us y ′ = rt r −1 and y ′′ = r( r − 1) t r − 2 .
Thus t 2 y ′′ − 2 ty ′ + 2 y = r( r − 1) t r − 2 rt r + 2 t r = [ r( r − 1) − 2 r + 2]t r = 0 . Solving this for r , we
find that r( r − 1) − 2 r + 2 = r 2 − 3r + 2 = ( r − 2)( r − 1) = 0 . Therefore, r = 1, 2 .
16. y = c1e 2 t + c 2e −2 t . y ′ = 2c1e 2 t − 2c 2e −2 t , y ′′ = 4 c1e 2 t + 4 c 2e −2 t = 4 y
∴ y ′′ − 4 y = 0.
17. From (16), y = C1e 2 t + C2e −2 t , which we differentiate to get y ′ = 2C1e 2 t − 2C2e −2 t . Using the
initial conditions, y(0) = 2 and y ′ (0) = 0 , we have two equations containing C1 and C2 :
C1 + C2 = 2 and 2C1 − 2C2 = 0 . Solving these simultaneous equations gives us C1 = C2 = 1. Thus,
the solution to the initial value problem is y = e 2 t + e −2 t = 2 cosh(2 t) .
18. y (0) = c1 + c 2 = 1, 2c1 − 2c 2 = 2 ∴ c1 = 1, c 2 = 0 y ( t) = e 2 t .
19. From (16), y ( t) = C1e 2 t + C2e −2 t . Using the initial condition y(0) = 3, we find that C1 + C2 = 3.
From the initial condition lim y ( t) = 0 and the equation for y ( t) given to us in (16), we can
t →∞
conclude that C1 = 0 (if C1 ≠ 0 , then lim = ±∞). Therefore, C2 = 3 and y ( t) = 3e −2 t .

t→∞
20. c1 + c 2 = 10 lim y ( t) = 0 ⇒ c 2 = 0 ∴ c1 = 10 and y ( t) = 10e 2 t .

t →−∞
21. From the graph, we can see that y ′ = −1 and that y(1) = 1. Thus m = y ′ − 1 = −1 − 1 = −2
and y 0 = y (1) = 1.
m 2
22. y ′ = mt ⇒ y = t + c. From the graph, y = −1 only at t = 0 ∴ t0 = 0.

1 m
Also c = −1. From the graph y (1) = −0.5 ∴ − = − 1 ⇒ m = 1.

23. We know that this is a freefall problem, so we can begin with the generic equation for freefall
g
situations: y ( t) = − t 2 + v 0 t + y 0 . The object is released from rest, so v 0 = 0 . The impact time
2
corresponds to the time at which y = 0 , so we are left with the following equation for the
g 2 y0
impact time t : 0 = − t 2 + y 0 . Solving this for t yields t = . For the velocity at the time of
2 g
impact: v = y ′ = − gt + v 0 = − gt = − 2 gy 0 .

13. y = ct −1 . Differentiating gives us y ′ = −ct −2 . Thus y ′ + y 2 = −ct −2 + c 2 t −2 = (c 2 − c ) t −2 = 0 .
